We often think enlightenment means having life all figured out. That couldn’t be further from the truth.

In our 25th episode, we sit down with secular Buddhist teacher Pablo Das for a big conversation about what we’re all searching for. He introduces us to the concept of The Second Arrow: the pain life inevitably brings, and the extra suffering we create by fighting it. Together, we explore grief, compassion, the wisdom of the body, and why embracing the full spectrum of the human experience (even the unpleasant parts!) is the path to living with more ease.
